Penumbra

dear old friend

The theme is not original. Sadly.
But even more so during this time, Music is a journey. A way to run away, to escape inside. Hope this will work for you while listening !

To create these confined atmospheres, the influences were clearly Max Richter, Jan Garbarek, Olafur Arnalds and Robert Fripp.
And I can't forget the kind message of encouragement I got while composing these pieces by the great pianist and composer Melaine Dalibert.

The drums are chopped up and beaten Spitfire LABS Drums.
My daughter Mia was hanging over my shoulder as I recorded the muted acoustic guitar part and I'm not sure why she wanted to say 'ow' so many times but it stayed there.
